The One Show (Friday 12th March)

AlisonF · Mar 14, 2021

Did anyone watch The One Show on Friday? Apparently there was a Toller on it (a sister of Peaches and Manny from Ellie’s first litter) I haven’t seen the clip yet.
As Crufts was cancelled, todat they announced the results from a Toller Virtual Alternative Crufts show and Bailey from Ellie’s second litter won best puppy head and best head in show (entries from Tollers worldwide).
Not bad for a novice breeder...

Forgive my ignorance but can I presume Ellie is yours too? If that’s the case, many congratulations and what bottle are you opening to celebrate this fantastic news?

...is that the third bit of good news?

@Dr-Snickers yes. I have 4 Tollers. The eldest two I got from the same breeder. The younger of those is Ellie and I have bred from her twice (Belgium both times).
Ellie has only been shown 5 times, 2 of which were Crufts where she did very well. Bailey was ‘pup in lieu’ of stud fee for second litter and so went back to Belgium. I can’t wait to go visit her and the owners and breeders.
As a novice breeder I was so lucky that 3 of my first litter qualified for crufts. The second litter haven’t had chance with covid.
I also think 2 from the first litter, including Peaches, could potentially qualify for agility at Crufts. One has already been for rally obedience as well.
I am very lucky I have many dedicated owners and some have had, and others want, another pup from me. A huge compliment which makes all the hard work, money loss (no profit in breeding if you take it seriously) and heart ache.
News like this makes it all worthwhile.
